Any 4x4's wanna go trail riding or mudding?

[2wdBlazer]

I really don't know any places other than out in Valrico. 2x4 guys welcome too. BYO Tow Strap though. :) I was thinking maybe in a couple weeks. That will give us time to get some people together.

[SSpiro]

I'd love to go, but my truck just couldn't handle it in the condition its in right now.. :(

Unless you'll let me drive your 2WD. ;)

[2wdBlazer]

Whats wrong? Not trail rated? We don't have to do anything heavy. This place in Valrico is pretty tame. Bring on the 2wd Guys too.

My 2wd is a garaged street rod project anyway. It will never see dirt.

[93ex]

whick place kris? Im down again. I actually might be 4wd again.

btw, this was last week, up in croom. nice big clay pit..

It actually is 2WD.. however I'm having tranny issues. :mad:

[teenagegirl]

I might want to play.....

[clracergrl]

I wanna go! My Jeep needs to get dirty. ;)

[dodgeon38s]

How far is Valrico from st. pete. Maybe we should all go to lakeland on a satuday night. And im not a huge fan of trails. My truck is black and tall and I hate long tree scratch pin stripes.

[mudstud]

Can I play?

[2wdBlazer]

Valrico is near Brandon. Lakeland is way too far for me. Too much gas. So when is anyone free?

[93ex]

weekdays, or with enough notice, weekend

[clracergrl]

With enough notice I can go on the weekend, depending on the time as well - I'd just have to work it around my schedule. :)

[teenagegirl]

^^^ same here

[BIG_Truck_Driver]

My truck is 8wd but it is not very good off road.

I do have plans to get a cj8 if I can find one, we'll see.

[m0nk3y]

depends on when/where...

jesse, whereabouts is that claypit?

I'm 2wd (for those who dont know), and would need fairly solid ground.

[93ex]

croom, i hit in 2wd

[2wdBlazer]

How about Sat. June 5th? Noon? I work till 5 on weekdays but am flexable around that. I'd like to see 4 or 5 trucks in.

VALRICO. We'll pick a meeting spot later.

[2wdBlazer]

Oh, I bought a big rope with hooks today for you guys that will get stuck. Who knows, I might get stuck.

yaay!!

if you get stuck god help us

[BIG_Truck_Driver]

I could probably pull any of you guys out, providing the rope is long enough to keep my wheels on solid ground.

[93ex]

lol walter

[clracergrl]

I just have to check my schedule. I probably won't be able to, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. How long can we expect to be out there? That will really help me determine if I'll be able to go or not. If not this time, then next time. :)

[mudstud]

Are you sure there's not going to be any trouble with land owners?

MAybe start at noon - whenever? You could leave early or show late.


As far as Land Owners, I've been there a few times. No signs were posted either.

[bronson85]

how rough does it get out there?

[2wdBlazer]

Sand, regular dirt, trails, mud (depending on rain). Not bad at all. Don't be scared.

Cool. Once everything is finalized, if you could shoot me a pm with your cell # or anyone else that would be going for that matter. And if I have to work, I'll just call before going out there to make sure people will still be there and all that good stuff. Can't wait! :)

not to mention, the atv guys had some of thier 4 wheelers impounded, and were issued citations not too long ago, for being there...

[2wdBlazer]

Anyone know of another place?

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

ya I used to go to a place named the hill pretty close to sonic on gandy.......it has some good climbs and good holes (mud if wet) and a place nearby called the figure eight its in the mangroves and very close to macdill airforce but not inside(never had probems) this place leads out to the bay and gets very deep sometimes(almost went under with my dads old expedition on 35's) I was saved by a big f-150...my exhaust weas under but not my intake luckily.....all in all both are fun....I will go check them out and see if they are worth though first...have not been to either in a while

its too bad Dover off 60 is gettin shut down.....when I was home I would do night runs till 430 and 5 AM sometimes....the trails seemed endless!!! I dont know about gettin impounded or fined though....although I do know a way in they have not blocked thats on the way to Medard park a little further down 60.....be home in 2 weeks and im ready to ride

[93ex]

Croom, ocala ntl forest.. but those are both a far ass drive

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

croom is by brooksville correct? 2 hours?....and ocala is around the same distance?......ill be willing for those with some planning

[93ex]

i went thru ONF today en route to palm coast. neverbeen in ther ebut a lot of the 4x4 guys i know like it. its prolly a little more than brooksville.. croom is in brroksville, and witlacoochie is too..witlacoochie doesnt have a lot going on besides a few washouts every now and again

[fordguy]

there is a hole off sr52 near the fly'n jay truck stop

[CBRTRX]

ive been to dover pits a couple of times and havent had a problem but i heard about people getting tickets there, i might go if you guys decide on a place

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

lets go to Dover!!!!!! by far the best trail rides around that I have seen.......and its the biggest too.....besides probably Ocala NF and the Croom.....late late night?......mid day?whenever ...I Prefer cover of night but lets putsome kinda of trail ride together somewhere

btw does anyone else on here belong to suncoast flatlanders?

[vdubguy18]

well I just got my 2001 ford ranger xlt 4x4 w/ off road pkg. A few weeks ago and I would be down for this seeing as if my truck can handle it. Its all stock as far as I know. Would love to take it out and enjoy it. Got it for hunting and goin out so someone let me know pm me when finalized.

[clracergrl]

So when are we setting this up? Anyone have any ideas yet?

[Tweedledee]

LMAO you guys take your cars out at croom? I ride my dirtbike out there weekly. No trucks allowed. Cant have a wheelbase longer than 55 inches. Its only for dirt bikes and quads, but yes, i have taken my truck into the front pit (front pic: see pics below).

http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Drtrider125/Croom.jpg

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

I htink I might be heading to Dover in a couple nights maybe 2 moro night or the next or the next not sure when but I wanna test the jeep....and I have to test this alternate way in I found out about....I would say lets all go but i would feel bad if a bunch went out and the entrance was not usable for us or osme of us or something so I dunno maybe Ill jus go on my lonesome first

[F 350]

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

going to Dover pits today at around 5 to look for/make a good place to get in(unsuccessful last night in the dark)...I intend to have better luck today and go back later tonight and have fun with some of my friends. Also found a place on Dale Mabry before Fletcher right behind Mcdonald's(not Northdale Mcdonald's) with some pretty good mud and trails especially cause it was raining. Anyways hoping to stake out some good stuff to bring everyone out trail riding, mudding, climbing on sometime....keep you all posted with pix and info later

[2wdBlazer]

Sweet. Let me know.

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

found another entrance farther down 60 that is much easier to get in. altho-ugh the other entrance on dover before the RxR crossing is only for smaller trucks ...probably only a a wrangler could fit in(its an ATV trail) I found a bunch of other trails and areas in the last couple days. by far the best noff road place around, now i'm convinced. time to plan something out there next week or next weekend.

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

Here are some pix from the dover pits

Almost rolled the jeep today fun stuff haha

[2wdBlazer]

So lets plan something. like a week or so.

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

another

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

goin through some trees

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

going down a hill that is a lot steeper than the pic makes it seem

[OpTiOnEeRsti]

im going back 2 moro sometime if anyone is interested. then probably again later that night to have a bonfire which I have been doing about twice a week.

[dave b]

If ya'll wanna go wheelin..i know of alot of places, some in bradenton/sarasota..and some up near brandon..if anybody round here wants to go...lets do it! i got straps, winches, all kinds of shit, so nobody needs to worry about getting stuck and not gettin out...let me know! we need to set this up!
